Product photography in Vietnam means hiring a local studio team to shoot your products for e-commerce listings, websites, catalogues and ads, with lighting, retouching and files sized for each platform. Unitrux shoots in Ho Chi Minh City for local and international brands, briefs in English, and publishes its prices: e-commerce product photos from 1,200,000 VND per session (up to 10 products, about 20 edited photos), brand-led product sets from 2,800,000 VND and full campaign days from 5,500,000 VND.

Why brands photograph products in Vietnam
- Shoot where the stock already is. Manufacturers and exporters avoid sending samples abroad; importers shoot the units that just arrived.
- Listings that sell on local marketplaces. Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop and Vietnamese websites reward clean, consistent images in the right sizes.
- One session, every channel. The same shoot can cover white-background listing images, lifestyle shots for social media and hero images for ads.
- Brief and approve in English. You share references and a shot list; we send selects and final edits for approval online.
What goes wrong with product photos
- Inconsistent images across a catalogue, shot on different days with different light.
- Colours that do not match the real product, which leads to returns and bad reviews.
- Only one style. White-background photos alone rarely carry a social campaign.
- Wrong sizes and file formats for each marketplace and ad platform.
- Hidden extras for props, models or retouching added after the shoot.
